Borderline intellectual functioning, also called borderline mental retardation, is a categorization of intelligence wherein a person has below average cognitive ability (generally an IQ of 70-85),[1] but the deficit is not as severe as intellectual disability (70 or below). It is sometimes called below average IQ (BAIQ). This is technically a cognitive impairment; however, this group is not sufficiently mentally disabled to be eligible for specialized services.[2] Additionally, the DSM-IV-TR codes borderline intellectual functioning as V62.89,[3] which is generally[citation needed] not a billable code[clarification needed][citation needed], unlike the codes for mental retardation.
